My commute was fine, but at around 3:30. I had a voice mail from the receptionist that they were visited by the hospital security and were told that "whoever is locking that bike to the stairwell, has to move it, it's a fire hazard." So, the building I work in is a community agency building attached to the local hospital. We are not part of the hospital, but the hospital is in charge of the grounds/building. I leave my bike in an inside hallway where the Concord Carlisle Community Chest stores stuff in big closets and frankly, there's crap thrown everywhere. No one else has access to this area, it's beyond doors that say "for staff use only." The stairs go up directly to our offices. I've been putting my bike in the corner, in front of a closet and locking it to the end of the railing. Depending on how it's leaning, maybe a bit of the handlebar is inside the hand rail.
This is crap. This hospital is preaching healthy living and no one's way is being blocked. I unlocked the bike and just leaned it against a wall, wrapping the lock through all the parts. I am not really worried it will get taken, because no one goes in this area except my colleagues, but I am pissed. It's bike to work week for God's sake. Things like this are barriers.
I will bring it upstairs and leave it in our meeting room, if I have to, as I can wheel it out the front door when it's time to leave. Carrying it up the stairs is no issue, but I think going down would be. I have to talk to the clinic director, though.
